Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An apparatus comprising: a vehicle; a compartment that stores data in a data center and is motivated by the vehicle, wherein the vehicle is selected from the group consisting of a rotary-drive flying vehicle, a wheeled vehicle, a tracked vehicle, a vehicle with multiple legs, a pneumatic vehicle, and a ballistic vehicle; wherein the vehicle comprises a processor and a memory storing code that is executable by the processor to direct the vehicle to evacuate the compartment from the data center to a secure disaster recovery target located outside the data center using the vehicle in response to an evacuation signal to evacuate the data center.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the compartment backs up a data source.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , the apparatus further comprising a loader that loads the compartment to the vehicle in response to the evacuation signal.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the compartment is integral to the propulsion device.
5. A method for autonomous data evacuation comprising: motivating a compartment that stores data in a data center with a vehicle, wherein the vehicle is selected from the group consisting of a rotary-drive flying vehicle, a wheeled vehicle, a tracked vehicle, a vehicle with multiple legs, a pneumatic vehicle, and a ballistic vehicle; and evacuating the compartment from the data center to a secure disaster recovery target located outside the data center using the vehicle in response to an evacuation signal to evacuate the data center.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the compartment backs up a data source.
7. The method of claim 5 , the method further comprising loading the compartment to the vehicle in response to the evacuation signal.
8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the compartment is integral to the vehicle.
9. A system comprising: storage hardware storing data; a vehicle, wherein the vehicle is selected from the group consisting of a rotary-drive flying vehicle, a wheeled vehicle, a tracked vehicle, a vehicle with multiple legs, a pneumatic vehicle, and a ballistic vehicle; a compartment that stores the data for the storage hardware in a data center and is motivated by the vehicle; wherein the vehicle comprises a processor and a memory storing code that is executable by the processor to direct the vehicle to evacuate the compartment from the data center to a secure disaster recovery target located outside the data center using the vehicle in response to an evacuation signal to evacuate the data center.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the compartment backs up a data source.
11. The system of claim 9 , the system further comprising a loader that loads the compartment to the vehicle in response to the evacuation signal.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the compartment is integral to the vehicle.
